Here’s how our Orange County Judgment Enforcement receivers can help you:

The enforcement of judgments is governed by the California Code of Civil Procedure §708.620, which outlines circumstances under which a receiver in aid of execution may be appointed. In addition, §708.510(a) allows the court to order a judgment debtor to assign payment rights to a receiver—including rents, commissions, royalties, insurance policy loan values, or even government wages not subject to garnishment. Once appointed, a receiver has the same powers as the creditor to collect on the judgment.
